The Filene Research Institute in Madison, Wis., is hosting a webinar on Friday to show credit unions how to involve their members in a national Save Your Refund Sweepstakes that was recently launched by the non-profit group Doorway to Dreams Fund of Boston.

D2D was founded by Peter Rufano, a former Filene Fellow who has a long history of finding ways to motivate consumers to save, the institute said.  Rufano worked with Filene Research on the development of prize-linked savings, including the Save to Win program that has been adopted at credit unions in North Carolina, Michigan and Nebraska.

The first-ever Save Your Refund Sweepstakes encourages tax filers over age 18 to save a minimum of $50 of their federal tax refund, by splitting their refund using Form 8888, and to enter the sweepstakes at http://www.saveyourrefund.com.
